“"Motherboard," for me, has four different levels: the bottom part is the water, vegetation, and growth. The second part is the world with figures and animals; there's chaos and civilization. The third part is the digital zone - these red things are turning into really loud digital sounds. Then the fourth level is like ether and things turning into air. This idea of how we're becoming partly digitalized is really interesting to me.” WorldIdeasDifferentSoundGrowthWaterAnimalInterestingLevelsFourAirFiguresBecomingCivilizationRedThirdsChaosBottomLoudZoneDigitalFourthReally InterestingDifferent LevelsVegetation Author:Ali Banisadr

“...after my first feeling of revulsion had passed, I spent three of the most entertaining and instructive weeks of my life studying the fascinating molds which appeared one by one on the slowly disintegrating mass of horse-dung. Microscopic molds are both very beautiful and absorbingly interesting. The rapid growth of their spores, the way they live on each other, the manner in which the different forms come and go, is so amazing and varied that I believe a man could spend his life and not exhaust the forms or problems contained in one plate of manure.” MenWayFirstsBelieveDifferentFeelingsProblemBeautifulFormThreeI BelieveGrowthInterestingStudyWeekHe ManMassHorseFascinatingBiologyEntertainingPlatesRapidsComes And GoesMoldVery BeautifulManureRevulsionRapid Growth Author:David Fairchild

“In everything, no matter what it may be, uniformity is undesirable. Leaving something incomplete makes it interesting, and gives one the feeling that there is room for growth. Someone once told me, "Even when building the imperial palace, they always leave one place unfinished." In both Buddhist and Confucian writings of the philosophers of former times, there are also many missing chapters.” GivingWritingMayMatterFeelingsGrowthInterestingRoomsMissingBuildingNo Matter WhatLeavingPhilosopherBuddhistFormerChaptersPalacesIncompleteUnfinishedUniformityUndesirableConfucian Author:Yoshida Kenko

“People don't tend to notice, but in the past 10 years especially there's been a lot of growth in how I write songs and what goes into them. You can listen to Mountain Goats from 1991 to 2007 and never hear a seventh chord. In 2007 or 2008, I started working on the piano to grow as a songwriter. I started throwing major sevens in and sixes and more interesting stuff.” PeopleWritingYearsPastSongGrowsStuffGrowthInterestingMountainMajorsPianoThrowingSongwritersChordsGoatsInteresting Stuff Author:John Darnielle
